Description 

The present invention relates to an antitumour pharmaceutical composition containing a benzoyl urea 
compound as the main component. More particularly, the present invention relates to a pharmaceutical 
5 composition whereby the absorbability of an antitumour benzoyl urea compound of the formula: 



10 




wherein X is a halogen atom or a nttro group, Y is a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a nitro group or a 
15 trifluorornethyl group, is a halogen atom or a trifluorornethyl group, Z2 is a hydrogen atom or a halogen 
atom, and A is a = CH~ group or a nitrogen atom, through the gut, is improved. 

The benzoyl urea compounds of the formula 1 are known to have excellent antitumour activities 
(Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 109721/1982). However, these compounds are hardly soluble 
in water, and accordingly their absorbability through e.g. the gut is poor. Therefore, in order to obtain 
20 adequate antitumour activities, it is necessary to increase the dose, whereby there is a possible danger of 
adverse effects due to the excessive administration. 

It is an object of the present invention to provide a pharmaceutical composition whereby the absor- 
bability .of the benzoyl urea compound of the formula I through the gut is improved. 

The present inventors have studied various additives with an aim to improve the absorbability of the 
25 benzoyl urea compound of the formula I through the gut, and have finally found that certain specific 
substances, i.e. nonionic surfactants, are capable of improving the absorbability of the benzoyl urea 
compound of the formula I through the gut 

Thus, the present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising a benzoyl urea com- 
pound of the formula (i) and a non-ionic surfactant; characterized in that the benzoyl urea compound of the 
3D formula (1) is in the form of fine particles having an average particle size of from 0.2 to 1,0 ixm and the ratio 
of said benzoyl urea compound to the nonionic surfactant is within a range of from 1:5 to 70:1 by weight 
Now, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments. 
In the accompanying drawing, Figure 1 is a graph showing the stability of particles of the pharmaceuti- 
cal composition of the present invention. 
36 in this specification, the halogen atom is preferably a chlorine atom or a bromine atom.

\ . N : 

oo The benzoyl urea compounds of the formula I are known compounds, and they may be prepared by a 
method disclosed In e.g. Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 109721/1982 or by a similar 
method. 

There is no particular restriction as to the nonionic surfactant to be used in the present invention. Any 
nonionic surfactant may be employed so long as it Is useful as an additive for pharmaceuticals. Its HLB 

35 value (Hydrophile-Upophile Balance) is preferably at least 3. Specific Examples of such nonionic surfactants 
include pofyoxyethylene hardened caster oil 20, polyoxyethyiene hardened caster oil 40, polyoxyethyiene 
hardened caster oil 60, polyoxyethyiene hardened caster oil 100, polysorbate 60, poiysorbate 65, polysor* 
bate 80 t polyoxyethyiene polyoxypropylene glycol, a sucrose fatty acid ester, a glycerol fatty acid ester, a 
sorbitan fatty acid ester, a propylene fatty acid ester, a polyoxyethyiene sorbitan fatty acid ester, a 

40 polyoxyethyiene sorbitol fatty acid ester, a polyoxyethyiene glycerol fatty acid ester, and a polyethylene 
glycol fatty acid ester. 

In the present invention, the ratio of the benzoyl urea compound of the formula 1 to the nonionic 
surfactant is usually within a range of from 1:5 to 70:1 by weight. 

The pharmaceutical composition of the present invention is preferably in the form of fine particles 
45 having an average particle size of from 0.2 to 1.0 M>m. 

The pharmaceutical composition of the present invention is preferably the one obtained by pulverizing 
the benzoyl urea compound of the formula I in an aqueous solution containing the nonionic surfactant, 
whereby the composition having the above-mentioned particle size will be prepared. In such a case, the 
nonionic surfactant serves as a dispersant The pulverization is preferably conducted by wet pulverization, 
so The wet pulverization is a method wherein the material to be pulverized is rotated or snaked together with 
beads {particularly glass beads) in a solution containing the dispersant- A machine such as a Dyno-Mile 
{KDL-model, manufactured by Dyno-Mile Company) may be employed for this purpose. The concentration 
of the benzoyl urea compound of the formula I in the aqueous solution during the pulverization, is from 1 to 
70 w/v%, preferably from 20 to 50 w/v%. Particularly when the pulverization is conducted in a wet 
55 pulverization system by using the Dyne-mil l T the concentration of the benzoyl urea compound of the formula 
I in the aqueous solution is preferably within the above range, The concentration of the nonionic surfactant 
as the dispersant is usually from 1 to 30 w/v%, preferably from 2 to 20 w/v%. The glass beads employed 
usually have a size of from 0.1 to 1.5 mm in diameter, preferably from 0.25 to 0,5 mm in diameter. The 



4 



EP 0 233 559 B1 



pulverisation time is usually from 5 minutes to 1 hour. After the completion of the wet pulverization, glass 
beads will be removed by sieving, and if necessary additives such as a sweetening agent or a perfume may 
be added thereto. The composition is then subjected to autoclave sterilization or to filtration for the removal 
of bacteria, to obtain a liquid composition. 

s The composition of the present invention can be formulated into pharmaceutical formulations by 

conventional methods, As such pharmaceutical formulations, oral formulations such as powders, fine 
particles, granules, capsules, tablets and liquid drugs may be mentioned. 

Such formulations may be prepared by removing water from the above-mentioned Hquid composition 
by heat drying, freeze drying, centrifugal separation, membrane filtration, etc-, and then following a 

io conventional method for formulation by using or without using conventional pharmaceutical additives. 

The pharmaceutical composition of the present invention may usually orally be administered to 
mammals (e.g. human beings, horses, catties, dogs t mice, rats, etc.). The dose varies depending upon the 
diseased condition, the sex, the body weight, the formulation, etc. However, for instance, when the 
composition of the present invention is orally administered against human malignant lymphoma or lung 

75 cancer, the benzoyl urea compound of the formula I is administered in a daily dose of from 5 to 100 mg/kg 
to an adult in one to three times per week. 

As will be evident from Test Example 1, with the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention, 
the absorption of the benzoyl urea compound of the formula I from the gut is remarkably improved, and as 
wBI be shown from Test Example 2, the stability of the particles in a liquid state is good. 

20 By using the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention, it is possible to reduce the dose of 
the benzoyl urea compound of the formula I and thus to reduce the side effects or the pain to the patient 
when it is administered. 

Now, the present invention will be described with reference to Examples and Test Examples. 

25 TEST EXAMPLE 1 : Absorption from the gut 

Compound No. 3 was suspended in each dispersing solvent containing a dispersant as identified below, 
so that the concentration will be 4 w/v%, and after an addition of glass beads (1-1.4 mm in diameter) in an 
amount of the same volume, subjected to rotary pulverisation by a Dyno-mH! for 45 minutes. As the 

30 dispersant, polyoxyethylene hardened caster oil 60 (HCO60, manufactured by Ntkko Chemical K.K.), 
poiyoxyethylene (160) polyoxy propylene (30) glycol (F68, manufactured by Asahi Denka Kogyo K.K.), a 
decaglyceiin fatty acid ester (Decagly, ester, manufactured by Nikko Chemical po!ysorbate SO (Tween 
80, manufactured by Nakarai Kagaku K,K,) and sucrose fatty acid ester (P1570, Sugar ester, manufactured 
by Hish&o K.K.) were employed. 

36 Each wet pulverized formulation thus obtained was forcibly oraliy administered by an oral sonde to a 
group of two Wtster male rats (body weight 200 g) starved for 18 hours {dose: 200 mg/5 ml/kg). Then, 
blood {0.3 ml) was periodically sampled with heparin from the jugular vein. 

The blood thus obtained was subjected to separation of the plasma and removal of proteins by using 
acetonitrite, and then Compound No, 3 was quantitatively analyzed by a high speed liquid chromatography 

40 using a reversed phase column (Nova Pak Cis, 5jjl, 3.9 mm in diameter x 150 mm, Nthon Waters), and the 
curve of the concentration in btood was prepared. 

From the curve of the concentration in blood, the area below the curve was obtained by using a 
trapezoid formula and presented as AUC (Area Under the Curve). The respective values were obtained for 
all rats, and the average value and the width is shown in Table 1 . 

45 AUC is the highest with HCO60, and F68 follows it.

TEST EXAMPLE 2: Stability of particles 

Among the wet pulverized formulations prepared in Test Example 1, the one wherein HCO60 was used 
as a dispersant, was subjected to a storage test at room temperature to examine the stability of particles in 
5 a liquid state. The change with time of the particle size (up to 3 months) is shown in Figure 1. With HCO60\ 
the Increase in the particle size was little and the particles were stable. 

TEST EXAMPLE 3: Antitumour activities 

10 The pharmacological effects of the pharmaceutical compositions obtained by the present invention were 
studied. 

To BDFi mice (male, 20 - 22 g), L-1210 leukemia cells were intraperitoneal ly inoculated in an amount of 
1 x 1 0 G ceNs/mouse, One day later and 4 days later, a test drug was orally administered. It was difficult to 
administer the drug In the final formulation form. Therefore, in this test, Compound No. 3, and a 1 0 w/v% 
75 MCO60 solution were mixed, and pulverized in a wet system to obtain a liquid suspension, and the liquid 
suspension was administered to each mouse in an amount of 0.5 ml. Thereafter, the mice were observed 
for survival or death. 

The activity was evaluated by a survival rate [T/C (%)] as compared with a control group to which a 
physiological saline was administered, and T/C values are shown in Table 2.

T/C C % ) = Median survival time of test animals , n n 

Median survival time of control animals x 

25 As the results, the adequate, antitumour activity of Compound No. 3 was distinctly observed when it was 
subjected to wet pulverization together with the specific substance prescribed by the present invention and 
no substantial antitumour activity was observed when Compound No. 3 was wet pulverized in the absence 
of HCO60 even when the compound was administered in the same dose. Namely, this result indicates that 
the absorption i.e. the transfer of Compound No. 3 into blood from the gut, is facilitated by the composition 

30 of the present invention. On the other hand, the appearance of toxicity (T/C being less than 100%) in a high 
dose region indicates that the absorption is great 

This test result indicates that the adequate antitumour activity of Compound No, 3 is observed only in 
the case of the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention, and the activity is particularly 
remarkable in the composition obtained by wet pulverization. In particular, when HCO60 is used as a

The wet pulverized drug thus obtained was sterilised in an autoclave to obtain a liquid drug of a final 
form. Here, instead of the sterilization in an autoclave, it is possible to employ filtration to remove bacteria. 
If necessary, a sweetening agent, a perfume, etc, may be added, 

5 EXAMPLE 2 



To 40 mt of the liquid drug obtained in Example 1, 20 g of lactose was added. The mixture was free^ed 
with dry ice-methanol, and then subjected to vacuum drying for 24 hours to remove water. The solid thus 
obtained was filled in capsules to obtain capsule drugs.
